Hi all, im a computer science teacher. Is there anyone here who teaches java using Moodle?
My question is specifically about this plugin called Code Runner. I want to create a question that requires to use java.io but to be able to work with files, you need to specify a path. Since Moodle runs on a server, I'm unsure what path should I use in terms for my code to pass test cases on Code Runner.

Why io if nio exists pepe_sad

@open wyvern Right, but Files.readString and Files.writeString are miles easier than BufferedReader nonsense

#

so its not about "io then nio" its about showing the easier api

#

but

#

okay looking into moodle

I haven't found anything too clear

#

but

#

i think you can give them a temp file and read back from it

Basically there are 2 options

#

either it stops you from doing filesystem operations entirely

#

or it lets you and will clean up files later

#

if its the 1st...well harder problem

#

if its the 2nd, you just need to make them write a file and read it to validate before execution is done

#

specifics of that would be pretty tied into moodle

thank you so much for looking into this@past lantern !! 🙏 I'll try the second option.

i'm curious about the curriculum you are going to be using

#

we get a lot of questions from confused students here

delicate ivy
#

yeah actually good opportunity to talk about that

it's the national curriculum of Bulgaria. needs improvement for sure. I'm not Bulgarian. I'm an international teacher here. But I'm adapting as well. I'll definitely bring up the need for update in the curriculum

past lantern
#

is there a place i can get a reference for that?

#

need for update in the curriculum
Well, luckily for everyone but the people who write curriculums, it probably needs an overhaul

# 
void main() {
    println("Hello, world");
}
#

hard to overstate how not needing to show people classes, static, or String[] args fundamentally shifts the order of teaching

well. the curriculum is all in Bulgarian.. there's a rough draft of its translation but definitely a mess. The person who translated it had no idea. there's a new bulgarian/english speaking faculty just started. im hoping to work together with her to make it make sense peepoG

past lantern
#

so bulgarian is fine
